2. Handle components carefully. Careless handling of the critical seal components may result in chip
ping, cracking or breakage.
3. Do not touch sealing areas. The sealing faces, O-rings, wedges, and bellows must be kept perfectly
clean. Even fingerprint can cause a seal to leak. Primary and secondary sealing areas must kept clean
and undamaged to ensure a proper seal. Rubber gaskets tear easily when handles carelessly.
4. Make sure that the shaft or sleeve is free of burrs, nicks, grooves, and sharp edges.
5. Bleed all trapped gases from the seal cavity before start-up, otherwise the seal cavity may va-
por lock and burn the seal.
6. All valves must be open on the suction side of the pump so that the seal is assured of a positive
flow of liquid at all times. Failure to do so will also cause the seal to burn.
